Professor Yu is very cool and helpful. His lectures are clear and helpful. You get a cheat sheet (front and back) for both midterms and the final exam, and he curves the class upward to a B average (doesn't curve down). He really wants his students to do well and keeps topics pretty simple. He knows this class is for non-stem majors/intro to physics, and he caters towards students with no previous understanding of physics.

When I took this class, it was Mathew’s first quarter of teaching. He knew most of the class were Psych or CogSci majors, so he went REALLY easy on us. Most of the more difficult Physics topics weren’t covered or not tested. His lectures were engaging because he tried to do a least one demonstration every day, and had volunteers help him with it.

During midterm and finals season, his office hours were really helpful, and he provided a study guide. If you’re even a little bit familiar with physics, you’ll be golden. This class was kindergarten level physics.
